Mugwort leaves are fragrant, and they reach Duanyang. The 2024 China Nanchang International Dragon Boat Race will be held at Jiulong Lake from June 1 to 2. At the same time, crayfish, as a summer standard, has become the "top" delicacy in dragon boat races. During this year's Dragon Boat Festival, the perfect combination of the International Dragon Boat Race and the Iron River crayfish allows the public to have a delicious, good-looking and fun experience when watching the Dragon Boat Race, and the Iron River crayfish is also hot out of the circle again.
At the competition site of Jiulong Lake, with the cheers on the shore, 42 participating teams, including the dragon boat team of Xinjian District, competed in groups. The athletes cooperate tacitly, the movements are uniform, and every oar's fall is full of strength and passion.
At the same time, in the viewing area by the lake, a crayfish feast is being presented. Tiehe Township brought the local clear water crayfish to the scene, and used a unique cooking method to make a variety of flavors such as spicy, garlic, thirteen spices, etc., to meet the different taste buds of diners. People sit together, taste delicious crayfish, and talk about the customs and interesting facts of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Luo Jin, a citizen who came back from other places to watch the dragon boat race, said: "I usually like to eat crayfish, and today I found that there was a crayfish sold at the dragon boat race site, and I immediately bought one to satisfy my hunger." I've heard of the brand of Tiehe lobster before, and it's really delicious after tasting it on the spot today. ”
With the reputation of meat quality and delicious taste, Tiehe crayfish has become an "Internet celebrity product" in many cultural and tourism activities, capturing waves of foodies. In this dragon boat race, the iron river crayfish has also become a "hot delicacy", and tourists come to buy and taste in turn at each stall, and the lobsters prepared by the merchants in advance are sold out early.
Chen Chun, a lobster operator from Tiehe Township, said: "Our Tiehe lobsters are all farmed in clear water, with full meat and relatively large size, and after our secret recipe is made, the taste is quite good." Yesterday, our lobster was recognized by consumers as soon as it was put on the table, and it sold more than 500 catties in one day. ”
In order to better promote consumption, Tiehe Township also held the "Tiehe Lobster Beer Festival" on the spot, with the theme of food, wine and joy to provide people with a relaxed and happy festival experience.
In recent years, Tiehe Township has given full play to its unique geographical advantages, effectively revitalized water resources, and vigorously developed characteristic aquaculture projects. Up to now, the rice and shrimp breeding area of Tiehe Township has reached more than 11,000 mu, the total annual lobster output is expected to reach 3.08 million catties, and the annual output value is expected to reach more than 6,160 yuan.
